About this place Egoist Underwear

Egoist is a small men's underwear shop on North Halsted Street, in the middle of Chicago's Northalsted (Boystown) strip. It stocks the brands you'd expect in a gayborhood store, including Andrew Christian, Cocksox, XTG, UDY and Gigo, across a decent range of cuts and prices. The shop is listed as gay-friendly rather than a gay venue, but the stock and the location make its audience fairly obvious. It's an easy stop while walking between bars and restaurants on Halsted. Listed hours run from 11:00 daily, closing at 18:00 on Monday and Sunday, 19:00 midweek and 20:00 on Friday and Saturday. Check the website if you're after a particular brand or size.

A wonderful little boutique! Coming from out of town, a place like the Egoist just doesn't exist where I live, so it was a little overwhelming at first. Just so many pairs to choose from and sift through! The attendant was very charming as he helped me navigate some potential sizing issues. Walked away with a great first experience at a men's underwear boutique and will be coming again!

I was looking for some TEAMM8 items that seem to be sold out everywhere, but happily, Egoist had some in stock, so I ordered several online. My order arrived very quickly and was well-packaged. Thank you Egoist! I hope to visit the Boystown brick-and-mortar store next time I'm in Chicago.

Was window shopping during pride fest and found a cute matching set. I bought it and not wanting to carry it during the fest I asked if I could leave it there and pick it up later that week. Lawrence helped me and even remembered me when I came back a few days later to pick it up. Great shop and awesome customer service.

I had a great experience shopping at Egoist! The store was clean, well-organized, and easy to browse. Lawrence was super friendly and helpful as he took the time to understand my preferences and suggested pieces that fit both my taste and body type. He also pointed out some great sale items which I appreciated. It’s also really nice having a local gay store like this in the area 😄
